They also discuss Hanneli's new venture, the Social Impact Arts Prize, an initiative that provides a totally different lens on art practices and their role in communities. Launched in Cape Town in 2010 to fill a void for boutiques selling African products, Rupert’s selected range of artisanal products such as organic perfume soaps by Tammy Frazer, accessories from Ethiopian brand LemLem and sneakers from Cameroon based SAWA, quickly gathered a cult following.
